About the Company

Our client is an early-stage AI company building the next generation of the enterprise agent workforce.

The company is developing an AI agent platform that helps enterprises build and deploy intelligent agents with the appropriate permissions, guardrails, and activity logging required to safely operate inside real organizations.

The platform enables companies to automate meaningful portions of their employees’ workflows, with early customers already using AI agents to automate several hours of work each day.

Founded in 2025, the company is an exceptionally lean, seven-person team backed by leading investors and has raised approximately $12.5M in funding.

This is an opportunity to join at the very beginning of the company’s business operations function as the first BizOps hire. You’ll work directly with the COO and founding team and take ownership of the highest-priority problems across recruiting, growth, customer activation, sales operations, strategy, and company building.

Because there is no established playbook, this role is designed for an unusually high-agency generalist who enjoys figuring things out from first principles, moving between strategic and hands-on work, and building systems from scratch.

What You'll Do

• Own and drive high-priority special projects across recruiting, growth, customer activation, and company operations
• Work directly with the COO and founding team on the company’s most important and ambiguous problems
• Build AI agents on the company’s platform for customers and internal use cases
• Turn learnings from building agents into reusable workflows and templates
• Support customer onboarding and activation by designing and deploying agents and workflows
• Identify opportunities to improve customer adoption and product usage
• Define, track, and report the key metrics the company uses to operate
• Build dashboards, reporting systems, and operating processes using SQL, Excel, and Google Sheets
• Support recruiting initiatives and help scale the team
• Work on growth initiatives across customer acquisition and expansion
• Support sales operations and help improve the company’s go-to-market processes
• Develop customer-facing presentations, decks, and materials
• Work on pricing analysis and other strategic commercial initiatives
• Support customer communications and operational workflows
• Take ownership of whatever problem is most critical to the business at a given moment
• Move between strategic analysis and hands-on execution without needing a defined playbook
• Identify operational bottlenecks and independently develop solutions
• Build repeatable systems and processes as the company grows
• Work closely with founders and leadership across a broad range of business functions
• Use AI tools and agents as a core part of day-to-day work
• Operate with extreme urgency and ownership in a highly fast-moving startup environment

Why Join

This is an opportunity to join an extremely early-stage AI company at the beginning of its business operations function.

As the hire, you’ll have unusually broad ownership across the business. Rather than inheriting a defined set of responsibilities, you’ll work directly with the COO and founders to identify the company’s most important problems and figure out how to solve them.

You’ll move between recruiting, growth, customer activation, sales operations, pricing, analytics, and strategy while also building AI agents that directly support customers and internal workflows.

If you are a high-agency generalist who enjoys operating without a playbook, solving difficult problems, using AI to multiply your output, and working directly with founders, this role offers exceptional scope and accelerated growth.
